Cape Coral Real Estate Blog

If you’ve lived in SWFL for any significant amount of time you know that we get hit with rumor after rumor of big companies moving to our area. How many of you remember being told year after year that we were going to get a Six Flags built in North Cape Coral, because we had excess land out there. I’m still eagerly waiting to purchase my season pass when that fateful day might finally come (pssst.. it’s not going to come). I'm so very sorry for the misleading title. Like my disappointment that we don’t have a Six Flags in our backyard, you might feel disappointed because the arrival of your favorite store was just a rumor as well. Maybe it’s the Ikea we have been promised for so long or the indoor shopping mall in Cape Coral. Whatever it is, you’ve been

If you are a Target frequenter like myself, you’ve probably heard about the new Chip and Joanna Gaines line gracing the home/kitchen departments of the glorious red giant. These people are everywhere! They are the pumpkin spice to anything house related and probably for good reason. They had a show that although I’ve never really gotten into it, my wife has seen every episode at least twice. These people rocked an already saturated market for television regarding real estate. Flipping homes, investing in homes, buying your first home… The list goes on and on. People eat it up. They love the idea of change (without doing it themselves). And prefer to live vicariously through millionaires who make soy candles for a living off eBay. But, every blue moon

Let’s be real: Buying a new house can take up a lot of your time. Between negotiating the contract, working with your lender, inspections, and crunching numbers, it's easy to overlook some details.

For a buyer, it’s important to try and not let the little things slide, so here's a solid list of things to make sure you remember to do before the closing day. Hopefully, checking all these off your to-do list will help you move be a little more seamless.

1. Clear your calendar

Closing day is not something to take lightly. Although we all hope for quick and painless closings, the reality is that a closing can take up to several hours.

Try to get the day off, make sure your day is free of meetings, and let your co-workers know that you probably

Investing for the Long-Term

This morning I sat down at my desk and scrolled through Facebook and sipped my coffee. "Stock Market Turmoil" title filled my feed. It came wrapped in a photo of some trader trying to fight off tears while out of focus faces looked up at presumably deadly drops in stock prices.

I am no day trader. I do not make my living off of the stock market nor do I claim to know its inter-workings. What I do know is that I will not allow this situation to delegate my decisions based of fear mongering.
